Thaba Tholo Game Farm 's response
Hi Anlize,
Dankie vir jou resensie. Ek het jou persoonlik ingeboek en die huis was skoon en netjies. Die plaashuis bied baie aan, insluitend jou eie private jacuzzi, swembad, en ook braai en boma-area's, goeie kwaliteit linne, en voldoende geriewe vir bekostigbare verblyf en waarde vir geld.
Groete, Priscilla

Lovely farm holiday.
Once again we had a fantastic time at Thaba Tholo Game Farm. It's perfect if you want to get out of the city and have the tranquility of the forest. Children have plenty of space to run around and play, and watch the animals that often walk by. Everyone is very friendly and hospitable. We look forward to our break with you again in March. Thank you very much for your hospitality Kim and Johann. We look forward to many more holidays at Thaba Tholo Game Farm.

Die huis het dringend aandag nodig. Die bure het ons rus belemmer en die wild weggejaag met hul quad bikes en op-en-af ryery die langnaweek. Die huis was nie skoon met aankoms nie, en mens kry die indruk van 'n "bo blink en onder stink" benadering. Daar is twee ander wonings (een permanent en een naweek) baie naby aan die plaashuis wat nie oorspronklik genoem was nie.

Translate to English.
The house is in urgent need of attention. The neighbors disturbed our rest and drove the wildlife away with their quad bikes and riding up and down the long weekend. The house was not clean on arrival, and one gets the impression of a "shiny upstairs and stinky downstairs" approach. There are two other residences (one permanent and one weekend) very close to the farmhouse that were not originally mentioned.
What should have been a week-long bushveld getaway on a game farm turned into a disappointing stay halfway through. It was clearly once a lovely farmhouse but unfortunately has somewhat fallen into disrepair and is disappointing for the money we paid. The roof needs repairs and some of the ceilings have ugly water stains. The master bedroom ceiling has water damage and is pulling open above the shower and the ceiling paint is peeling above the bed. Kitchen and wardrobes have missing glass/wooden panels and some of the wardrobe drawers are broken. The house's wiring is messy in places and unsightly disconnected wiring hangs from the ceiling in places. We had to scrub some of the kitchen equipment before use, e.g. dirty glasses and bowls, wet plates, dishes with old burnt paste inside. On arrival we had to scrub the fridge and shelves with Jik and a toothbrush and wipe down with lemon juice to get rid of the rotten meat smell and packed meat soup. We had to do without the fridge shelves because they don't fit properly and fall out. Luckily there was the 'soft drink fridge' outside at the boma. We donated a bottle of Jik and dish soap. There were gecko (rat?) urine & dung stains behind the fridge and somewhere in the hallway which left the kitchen and bedrooms extremely smelly*. [*Also mentioned in a previous review!] The tub and shower in the master bedroom also had stains that were never cleaned during our 6-night stay. We treated the spots ourselves with Jik to get rid of the smell. The other bathroom's shower was clogged with hair and draining poorly. We had to share a remote control ('remote') for the main gate with the neighbors and the builders, and we had to chip at times to locate it to receive guests. The big attraction of the house was the woodland silence and we looked forward above all to the antelopes that move in front and sometimes through the garden. The neighboring house ('cottage' 20m in front of the farmhouse on the erf) entertained guests over the long weekend, in itself not a problem. Unfortunately, they spent almost the whole weekend racing around the field around and in front of 'our' house with quadbikes and a mini dune buggy for the children. The weekend neighbors on the other side (where they build all the time) walked into 'our' garden out of the blue one night to get firewood from 'our' boma. Our rest was therefore repeatedly disturbed by strangers who drove or walked through the field right in front of 'our' house and we enjoyed no real privacy. We were very grateful to uncle Koos who dropped in every day and lit the gas stove, Hannes who cleaned the fallow every day & stacked new braai wood and prepared the hot tub for us, and Julia who did the dishes every other day washed and made beds (and was paid for).

Hi Hildegard, baie dankie vir jou terugvoer. In die afgelope 10 jaar wat ons die plaashuis uitverhuur, het ons nog nooit so 'n deeglike en moeitevolle terugvoering ontvang nie. Ons sal verseker aandag skenk aan die probleme en foute wat jy vir ons uitgewys het. Dankie dat jy selfs tyd gehad het om onder en agter die yskas te kon kyk. Ons hou ons tariewe per kop so laag en bekostigbaar as moontlik, jammer dat dit vir julle te veel was.
Groete
Kim en Johann Ferreira.

I can recommend Thaba Tholo to anyone. It is delicious and nicely equipped with the wild animals that just come into the camp. This is the closest I have ever been to a golden wildebeest. It's just perfect. Feel free to make a reservation, you won't regret it.

Thaba Tholo Game Farm 's response
Hi Memory,
Sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy your stay, the heating system of the jacuzzi was damaged by loadshedding, I am really sorry, still waiting for someone to help us to fix it. You guys paid R195 per person, and expected that it includes a game drive. We do not advertise game drives, a game farm is for people that want to enjoy nature, birds and game roaming around the farmhouse, to have a braai and watch DStv, take walks or drive around on the farm or to visit al the nice attractions Naboom area offers, unfortunately, we offer accommodation at an affordable rate and don't organize activities for our guests.
Have a great day

Accommodation much older than website photos and needs attention in terms of maintenance.
Website photos very misleading. Accommodation much older and low maintenance. If 10 people stay there on one night, the price may be justified. At R2500 per night, much more modern and luxurious accommodation can be obtained in the area. No hot water in apartments. 10 km dirt road with limited accessibility. I would recommend the place for hunters and also the friendliness and helpfulness of Lientjie, Joseph and Koos, but not at the price of R2500 per night.

Exceeded expectations.
We were a group of friends on a men's weekend away and everyone was very satisfied with the facilities: swimming pool, Jacuzzi and 2 lapas. Really good value for money with very friendly reception and service. Would definitely stop here again! The road on the way there is less than ideal, but with a bakkie or a SUV, it isn't a problem. It also isn't a problem with a normal car, other than the vehicle shaking a bit. I would give everything a 5 star grading taking the price into consideration. Thanks for a great weekend!

Quiet environment but not worth the money.
It was wonderfully private and the setting is beautiful but the house is dirty. You are too afraid to turn on a light switch because then you have to deal with the fly mist. People should not confuse it with Thaba Tholo itself, it is a whole "neighbourhood". It is only the farm we discussed that is under discussion here.
